TON Network Just Dodged a Bullet—Here’s What You Need to Know
Heads up, Web3 builders and TON fans!
Security squad TonBit (part of BitsLab) just uncovered a critical vulnerability in the TON Virtual Machine (TVM)—and it’s a big deal. This flaw was linked to how the RUNVM instruction handles state migration, and it could’ve let attackers mess with smart contracts right when gas runs out. Yikes.
The scary part? Hackers could’ve used this loophole to corrupt key libraries, causing major failures in any contracts that depend on them. Total chaos avoided!
But good news: TonBit didn’t just sound the alarm—they stepped up. They’ve already submitted the fix to the TON Foundation and even helped with the patch.
If you’re a dev working with TON, take this seriously:
Update as soon as the patch drops
Double-check your gas handling
Lock down your library integrity
Stay safe out there, devs. The blockchain never sleeps.
